One of the popular designer breeds of dogs is the Puggle. A brilliant cross between a Pug and a Beagle. The breed combination is quite interesting, since the two original breeds are very different from each other to begin with. Pugs and Beagles, bred together, bring out complementary qualities of each breed.

Puggles generally stand about 13-15 inches high at the shoulders and range from 15-30 pounds. Because Puggles are not yet pure bred dogs, their looks can be quite different from dog to dog. One benefit of the Puggle vs. the Pug is, because of their longer legs, eye socket size, and less effusive wrinkles, puggles often avoid many difficulties with eyes, joints, and skin wrinkles common to pugs. Puggles also have much fewer problems with heat stroke than pugs and are able to walk and exercize in a much more normal capacity.

Another great benefit to owning a Puggle is that they are very low maintenance dogs. Puggles generally only require minor grooming, although, they do tend to shed somewhat. An occasional bath, nail clipping and ear cleaning is all they need.

Puggles are VERY mild mannered dogs, but can also be quite playful. They have the ability of making great lap dogs. Puggles need short walks and tend to tire quickly and enjoy their naps. Because of this, they are excellent dogs to have as indoor house pets. Puggles do not tend to bark and howl like most beagles do, which makes them more quiet than traditional beagles.
